Baseball field in Wood-Ridge may be getting some upgrades

The Wood-Ridge Council passed a resolution endorsing a grant application to the Bergen County Open Space, Recreation, Farmland & Historic Preservation.

The application is for a $150,000 matching grant.

Borough Administrator Chris Eilert explained that the purpose of the grant money is to replace all the fencing and to upgrade the bleachers and dugouts.

"All of the older fence, bleachers and dugouts are at least 30 years old and showing signs of wear and tear and rust and are in need of replacement," said Eilert. "Over the years, we've updated all of our other parks and fields. This is the last one that hasn't been upgraded, so we're turning our attention to this."
